Requesting Police Reports
You may also request a report in person or by mail. Reports are considered public records and are available through a public records request. Depending on the status of an investigation, the report may not be available immediately or certain information may be redacted. To request a copy of a report, you must be able to identify the report by indicating the date and location of the incident or by the case number.

For your convenience, you may fill out the Public Records Request form online and email the completed form to us at records@ovpd.org. If you choose, you may mail or fax us the form. Once we receive the completed form, we will contact you with the status of your request. Please be sure to include your contact information.

The cost of a police report is $5.00. Reports over 15 pages are an additional $.25 per page. Credit cards are now being accepted.

Name searches on private individuals are not conducted for citizens.

Letters documenting an individual’s arrest history with the Oro Valley Police Department are available to that person. Requests must be made in person with a picture ID or by mail with the requestor’s signature notarized.
